Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based coaching/counselling style to help people change and grow. It pays a lot of attention to both evidence-based relational factors and the language both clients and practitioners use. It focus is on helping people explore and resolve their mixed feelings or ambivalence about change, whilst strengthening the persons own arguments for change, and also their self-efficacy. It nicely complements and can even augment other approaches.
The event will be equivalent to 5.1/2 hrs of CPD.
